Actor Heo Jun-ho’s solid presence shines in the Netflix series ‘The Square.’

In Netflix’s ‘The Square’ released on the 6th, Heo Joon-ho showed off his intense charisma as ‘Lee Joo-woon’, the chairman of Joo-woon Group.He is the spiritual pillar of brothers Nam Ki-joon(So Ji-sub)and Nam Ki-seok(Lee Joon-hyuk)and the father of Lee Geum-son(Choo Young-woo).He is a character with sharp eyes and a deep aura.

Heo Jun-ho is gaining sympathy by portraying Joo-woon in a more humane way in ‘The Square’.He delicately portrays Joo-woon, who is conflicted between the fear of breaking long-held rules and realistic practicality, and he also evokes admiration by three-dimensionally expressing the agony of a chairman who cares about Ki-jun and Ki-seok but has to see the forest rather than the trees.

In addition, Heo Jun-ho perfectly portrayed the chemistry with his son Geum-son in the drama.The father-son relationship that feels like an appropriate distance adds tension to the drama and increases immersion.In particular, Heo Jun-ho not only pours realistic advice to Geum-son, who yearns for his father’s world, but also turns a blind eye to his son’s wrongdoings, proving once again that he is a trustworthy actor by portraying the loneliness and desolation of a father for his child.Accordingly, attention is focused on what kind of activities Heo Jun-ho, an actor who gives trust and confidence in every work, will show in the future.
